By The Numbers: 2025
How We Stack Up Against the Market
Our Greater PS portfolio of homes booked 41% of available nights versus the cohort’s 37%, as compiled by Airbnb. Amid an oversupplied desert market, we are trending above the market, yet still have room for improvement.
Dynamic pricing, pet-friendly policies, and a focus on longer stays draw more value from every calendar without cutting rates on prime weekends.
Our listings draw almost three times the impressions—153% higher— than comparable homes during May ’24 → Apr ’25, according to data collected through Airbnb.
High-impact photography, A/B-tested headlines, and dynamic pricing tools keep us locked above the fold, reaching travelers before they even start filtering.
Airbnb shows our homes on page 1 of search results 55.7% of the time, weighted across 12 months from April 2024 – April 2025.
That means every other guest search in our price bands starts with an Open Air Homes listing—boosting inquiries and brand awareness for every owner in the portfolio.
Out of every 10,000 search impressions, we convert 18 bookings versus the market’s 11—a 60 % uplift on Airbnb.
This efficiency turns views into paid nights, raises annual revenue, and shields owners from slow seasons when every inquiry counts.
Guests stay 9.7 days with us; the market averages 4.8 days according to “similar listings” in Airbnb Insights. That’s 102% longer than the market average.
Longer stays cut turnover costs, boost review volume, and reduce neighborhood churn, creating a sustainable growth loop.
